Diabetic Service Dogs

Does anyone know of a place or trainer in MI, OH, IL or IN that has any Diabetic Service Dogs. I have a friend who's little girl was recently diagnosed with Type I diabetes and they are looking for a service dog. Any help is appreciated.

K C Owens, a long time RTF member, is doing great work with DA dogs. I was truly amazed to watch young pups alert when I was in Utah judging and KC invited me to her home to see the youngsters working with a child with diabetes. You will find KC's contact information on this website:

I know that KC just got back from the UK where she conducted a conference regarding DA dogs. KC is willing to travel where she is needed!!

I donated a dog to NIDAD. They are based in NV I think, but they may be able to recommend some options in your area. I am pretty sure they will travel to wherever you are, to get both dog and person working as a team.
